Rural Community and Economic Development

The Rural Community and Economic Development Division of Nevada Governor's Office of Economic Development (GOED) is tasked with promoting and facilitating community development throughout rural Nevada. The overarching objective is to build prosperity and enhance the quality of life in rural Nevada.

Community development is the process of managing change within communities and involves:

dialogue among community members to decide their shared vision of the future

reaching consensus on what needs to be done to achieve that vision, and

communication, co-operation and collaboration within the community and with resource-providers in achieving that vision

The Rural Community and Economic Development Division and its many partners are engaged in promoting and facilitating development and growth throughout rural Nevada.
